If not, I might as well get a AMG GT Black series. For less.
Or maybe the next GT3RS and make my own safety again.
Sad.

I don't see the difference between the 3RS and 2RS? If they didn't do it for the 3, I don't see them doing it for the 2. And if you are enjoying the 3 on track with a bolt in bar why not the 2?

The 2RS creating excitement (yawn) RL guys don't want excitement they want to buy / drive ... repeat.
On the fence due to the W package but at the price of a 675LT Spider Speciale Performante 488GTO and others Porsche is punching above it's weight class ... the W price should be closer to the 2RS base price. Porsche is milking the 991 not sure how it's going to work out a year from now.

I asked when you're getting another and never heard back. Apparently that was a lie...

They don't want to certify the 991 with a roll cage to FMVSS 201, for whatever reason; cost, liability, it-can't-be-done without major part changes. Any additional profit from offering the CS package on the few GT cars that would be imported to NA with it, is probably less than whatever the additional costs are for certifying the car to the NHTSA performance standard.
Still, I see a large uptake rate for CS packages in NA, as a lot of people who don't even track order the LWB part.

I think a lot of folks are going to be disappointed on GT2 RS allocation, as am I having being confirmed by my UK Porsche Centre that not looking good despite my 20yr relationship with them and many 911's (all GT, RS and Turbo's) either serviced/bought there.
Little interest in Lambo or Ferrari (although have owned 355 and 430 Scuderia in past) but definitely now considering switching over wholesale to McLaren as too much hard work to buy the cars I want from Porsche these days.

True - being the President of the local Ferrari club it's shard to get most owners to drive if the weather isn't just right blah etc and so on vs Porsche lots of activities track days but that's changing and almost zero new models show.
RS purpose on track rally spirited owners - how many driving or track threads are there here vs allocation depreciation etc boring to the bone threads.

The red certainly is eye catching.
But somehow those magnesium wheels look right in their stock color. They are made of an expensive material and i think the black takes that away from them.
